dire it is growing to be. There are many problems that are causing global warming‚ and if they are not corrected‚ or at least prevented from here on out‚ there are going to be some severe complications in the near future. Greenhouse holes in the ozone layer and the decay of the atmosphere are just a few of the problems that need to be‚ at the very least‚ understood by the general community. Global Warming is caused by the Greenhouse effect. There are 4 steps in the Greenhouse effect process.

disappearance afflicts the oxygen balance. As a result every 10 minutes‚ one kind of animal‚ plant or insect dies forever‚ a big number of rivers and lakes dry up. The destruction of the ozone layer causes the global warming. The pollution of air and of the world’s ocean‚ the destruction of the ozone layer is the result of the men’s careless‚ a sign of ecological crises. An example of horrible ecological disaster is the Cernobyl tragedy in April 1986. That explosion afflicted not only Ucraine

of which can cause problems for humans‚ plants‚ and animals. There are several main types of pollution and well-known effects of pollution which are commonly discussed. These include smog‚ acid rain‚ the greenhouse effect‚ and "holes" in the ozone layer. Each of these problems has serious implications for our health and well-being as well as for the whole environment. One type of air pollution is the release of particles into the air from burning fuel for energy. Diesel smoke is a good example

resources is the least to worry about; the use of all gasoline yields carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide rises into the atmosphere and slowly tears away at the ozone layer by reacting with the chemical: ozone. As the ozone layer depletes‚ more of the sun’s harmful and heating rays penetrate the Earth warming it. If too much of the ozone is depleted‚ the globe’s average temperature will rise and throw nature off balance. Areas around the Earth’s equator are already feeling its effects. Drought plagues

Natural Resources Resources on the Earth Biosphere: The whole combination of animals‚ plants and non-living beings which by their interaction make the planet earth a live and vibrant place is called biosphere. Biotic Components: Living things constitute the biotic component of the biosphere. Abiotic Components: The air‚ the water and the soil form the non-living or a biotic component of the biosphere. The air is called the hygrosphere‚ the water is hydrosphere and the soil is called lithosphere

Unimaginable Destruction Global warming is not a sci-fi creation‚ but a harsh reality that may one day lead to the extinction of many species including mankind if preventative measures are not taken. Like most diseases humans face‚ early detection is key to treating and preventing the problem from escalating out of control. If measures to combat global warming are not taken immediately the earth may become uninhabitable and ruined forever. Although the earth has gone through natural climate changes

Organization‚ around two million people die prematurely from the effects of polluted air every single year. Air pollution is a huge problem—and not just for people living in smog-choked cities: through such things as global warming and damage to the ozone layer‚ it has the potential to affect us all. So what exactly causes this major environmental issue and what can we do about it? Let’s take a closer look!
